Mashup Score: 11Moving cholera vaccines ahead of the epidemic curve - 3 month(s) ago
The ongoing multi-country cholera outbreaks deserve greater attention and higher prioritisation globally.1 Since the early 1800s, there have been seven characterised global outbreaks of cholera. The seventh and current pandemic has been causing considerable illness effects since the early 1960s.2 Most recently, floods, droughts, natural disasters, and conflicts have displaced millions of people who have restricted access to clean water and live in settings with poor sewage management and increasing disease risk, further increasing the devasting effect of cholera around the globe.
